WanderLust Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Looking for a new prop bait to add to the topwater collection. Was thinking LC Kelly J... What's everyone's thoughts? Also what's your favorite color. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 20, 2011 Super User Posted January 20, 2011 Deps Buzzjet. Color doesn't matter, just get one that's pretty. Quote

Revo_Carrot Stix Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 1. LC Kelly J (MS American Shad) 2. Rapala Skitter Prop (Shad) 3. Devil Horse (Silver Shiner) Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 20, 2011 Global Moderator Posted January 20, 2011 Don't know about the buzzjet but the LC Kelly J is a really good bait. I've got one in chartruese shad that's caught a lot of fish for me. The old standby Heddon Torpedo is always catching fish for people too. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted January 20, 2011 Super User Posted January 20, 2011 I have 8 of the buzzjet jrs, love those things, they are beautiful baits. I also like the devils horse, the kelly j, jackal's dagored, and the other lucky craft one, the longer slender one, forgot the name right now. Quote
jdw174 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Don't overlook a Bagley Bang-O-Lure with a tailspinner on it. I'd like to have a dollar for every pound of fish it's ever pulled out of Kentucky Lake. Not as fancy as a lot of newcomers, but I can still haul 'em in on one of those when nothing else will do. At one time, Bomber made their Long A with the same setup. A bit different action from the Bagley, you can literally dance one of those in one spot for a long time. Both are good. Quote

Super User deaknh03 Posted January 20, 2011 Super User Posted January 20, 2011 I forgot about the torpedo, love those. Quote
mrbassky Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 The buzzjet has a prop on it but I consider it really more of a wake bait. The prop on it adds a little splash but really its not a bait you can work like a traditional prop bait. The Kelly J is my favorite by far especially now that they came out with some bluegill colors I think the only reason it took them that long was they didn't want to make it too obvious they were ripping off brians prop bee. Brians prop baits are great as well but I hate paying that much for something when the Kelly J is so similar. Quote
WanderLust Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks guys! I have several torpedos but need an upgrade. The LC Kelly and Buzzjet seem like good choices. I forgot about the Skitter Prop so perhaps I will add to my massive topwater collection. Topwater bite is my favorite for sure. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 I've had very good luck with Skitter Props and Torpedos. I just finished making a Skitter Prop for my son which is a little bigger and has a larger prop. It has a nice little dog walking action to it. Good luck expanding your topwater arsenal. It's one of my favorite techniques as well. Quote
Nick Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Anyone know for sure if Rapala is still mking their prop bait? I found s few last year, but it wasn't easy. Quote
WanderLust Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 Anyone know for sure if Rapala is still mking their prop bait? I found s few last year, but it wasn't easy. Still for sale on BPS and listed on their site. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 That LC Kelly J looks sweet! I will also second the Bagley BangO lure with props... I only have that and a few Heddon torpedoes. Prefer the bango. Quote
